Introducing the RIEGL miniVUX-3UAV: A Cutting-Edge Laser Scanner for UAVs
The RIEGL miniVUX-3UAV stands out as a highly portable and lightweight laser scanning solution tailored to meet the Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) criteria essential for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). With a customizable pulse repetition rate reaching up to 300 kHz, a comprehensive 360° field of view, and the capability to perform up to 200,000 measurements per second, this device excels in capturing intricate details with remarkable precision.
Advanced Technology for Enhanced Performance
Equipped with innovative Waveform-LiDAR technology, the miniVUX-3UAV facilitates echo digitization and real-time waveform processing. This feature allows for multi-target resolution,making it effective in penetrating dense vegetation. Additionally, the scanner’s wavelength is specifically optimized for accurately measuring snowy and icy landscapes, ensuring reliable data collection in challenging conditions.
Flexible Operation and Data Management
This versatile scanner can function independently or be seamlessly integrated with an external Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Users can conveniently store scan data on an accessible SD card or opt for real-time data streaming via LAN-TCP/IP, enhancing operational versatility.
